(Chapin Hartford)



Out on highway 1, I saw a camper van parked out on the shoulder

Thinkin' they had broken down, I pulled over

There was a little old lady and her old man kickin' back relaxin'

They said "sit down and help us celebrate our golden anniversary"

They had foldin' chairs, they were holdin' hands starin' at the fields

I said "man this ain't no movie, this is real"



Love should be as simple as that

Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands and matching baseball caps

Love is wanting what you have

Love should be as simple as that



They said "stay awhile", I siad "I thought I might and ask some burnin' questions"

Like how'd you make love last so long, they started laughing

He said "to keep our love from danger, I treat her like a stranger"

Courteous, considerate and kind



Love should be as simple as that

Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands and matching baseball caps

Love is wanting what you have

Love should be as simple as that



So I went home and I said "baby, baby listen"

There's something missin' in our lives

She said " I know, I been tryin' to tell you"

We need more communication, an exotic vacation

Big screen tv, redwood jacuzzi

Dinners out, concerts and movies

New kitchen, big addition, a pool, jewelry

Sauna, fish pond and a five acre lawn

I said " get in the camper"



Love should be as simple as that

Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands and matching baseball caps

Love is wanting what you have

Love should be as simple as that



Love should be as simple as that

Love should be as simple as that
